24-Year Old Packers LB Jeremy Thompson Retires Due To Neck Injury

The Packers made Jeremy Thompson a fourth round in the 2008 draft. Unfortunately, his career plans have been derailed.

Thompson suffered a neck injury in practice at the end of the 2009 season.

On Monday, he announced his time in the NFL had come to an end.

“I have consulted with a number of physicians, and due to my medical condition my intention is to retire from football,” Thompson said.

Thompson is just 24 years old.
